Interested gardeners and environmentalists attended a two-course dinner and educational evening called ‘What Can We Learn From Trees?’ in Burnham on Friday, November 10. Held at Burnham Park Hall and hosted by The Burnham Foundation the evening included a two-course meal and a talk from experts from The Woodland Trust and Burnham Beeches. Burnham Beeches’ conservation officer Helen Read then took to the stage to talk about local varieties of apple trees. There’s one called the Langley Pippin, Reverend Wilks and a new one grown in the village called Basil’s Burnham Beauty. Many told stories of favourite garden apple trees, or childhood climbing trees, but one gentlemen told a remarkable tale.
